We are beyond thrilled we chose Angler’s Beachside Grill for our wedding ceremony and reception!
The beachside ceremony location is absolutely stunning, and the indoor reception space is elegant, spacious, and offers gorgeous views.
The team at Angler’s made everything seamless. Natalia helped me pick out all of the decorations and was very organized and got everything on the admin side perfect! Their team special handled some Italian cookies I needed set up. Sandi was a tremendous help onsite before and after the wedding. She made sure everything was perfect. Meagan was my officiant and she did a great job and ran the ceremony perfect. All of the staff was very helpful and friendly. They were incredibly accommodating, attentive, and professional every step of the way. Our guests were raving about how beautiful the ceremony setup was right on the sand and how smooth the transition was into the reception.
The food was delicious (everyone loved the filet mignon!), the service was excellent, and every detail was executed flawlessly. We truly felt like we were in great hands the entire day. If you're looking for a venue that combines natural beauty, comfort, and top-tier service, Angler’s is it. We couldn’t recommend it more!
This is a great one-stop shop for your wedding! Decorations (set up, clean up) and we had Sandi onsite to help make sure everything ran smoothly.

Our wedding at Angler’s was an absolute fairytale come to life! After touring the venue with Brad, we knew this would be the place that would make all our dreams come true! The venue was stunning, the vibe was magical, and Sandi, Jodi, Elena and Emily were absolute rock stars! They made everything so easy and fun — we didn’t have to stress about a thing. A special thank you to our wedding coordinator, Natalia. She was so incredibly kind and patient and truly put her heart and soul into making sure everything was flawless. Every detail was on point, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how gorgeous and smooth the whole night was. If you want your big day to feel effortless, joyful, and unforgettable, this is the place! 💍

The event team at Anglers was the best!! They were so helpful and attentive and made sure that everything went perfect on our day. They were attentive down to every last detail, everything was BEAUTIFUL, the location was perfect, and the food was delicious. Friendly and loving from start to finish. They helped the whole way through with the planing, decorating, and setting everything up. I couldn’t have asked for a better team or a better day. Thank you again to everyone at Anglers. ❤️ would recommend over and over again.

Angler’s Events made our wedding dreams come true. From the very beginning Natalia made the process so easy especially being miles away in Tennessee planning a destination wedding. Brad was also wonderful. The decor blew me away. Everything was exactly how we discussed. The day of coordinator, Sandi was also great to work with. There’s nothing I would change about our wedding day. It was perfect!

Planning a destination wedding from out of state can be extremely difficult, but with the help of Natalia and Sandy at Anglers Events this process was stress free! Natalia made the planning process no hassle and Sandy was there every step of the way the day of to make sure everything went as planned. We couldn't be more happy with how our wedding and reception went or the service we received. Thank you Angler's for making our day one to remember!

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding venue! The location was absolutely stunning—directly on the beach, which made for the most beautiful backdrop to our special day. Natalia was truly amazing to work with. She went above and beyond by uploading all of my decorations into the wedding catalog and keeping it updated as I added more. Her communication was excellent, and she even made sure the table runners and chair sashes matched my bridesmaids’ swatch that I mailed to her—such thoughtful attention to detail!
The food was fantastic and all of our guests raved about it. Meagan, our officiant, was also wonderful and made our ceremony feel personal and meaningful. Everything came together seamlessly, and I’m so grateful for the entire team that helped make our wedding unforgettable. Highly recommend this venue!

Angler’s is hands down the BEST venue you could choose! It’s always been my dream to get married on the beach. Planning a wedding from 10 hours away was also very nerve racking to me. Natalia helped calm all my nerves and she was so patient with me and made sure we had everything perfect for our big day. Our wedding day was truly perfect thanks to everyone at Angler’s. Sandy coordinated the day of and she was amazing as well. The food was phenomenal and the atmosphere can’t be beaten. We have 0 complaints about Angler’s and I cannot recommend them enough!

My husband and I had been to Anglers a couple of times when visiting family and each time we came in for lunch we always felt right at home and enjoyed our interaction with the staff and our new pal, Salvator. When it came to finding the perfect place to host our destination wedding reception, we knew Anglers would be a perfect spot so we inquired, and I am so thankful we did because it was more than we could have ever dreamed of.
Natalia was so informative, answered my 50 questions and supported me through the entire process. Bless her heart, she made me list so I would not feel so overwhelmed but remained on track and quickly became my wedding hero. When it came to final 24 hours till our special day, I headed up to anglers to meet the décor team and the moment I walked into the venue; it was instant tears. Katya was kind, and she happily accepted a last-minute seating change without any hesitation. Katya and her team brought our vision to life, and they do phenomenal work!! When it came to execution Brad was on site to ensure everything was ready to go and our guest raved about our menu items (if only I had half his cooking skills lol). Then of course our favorite bartender, Mr. Salvator accepted our personal request for him to host our bar during our reception and there could not have been a better person for the job! We all had a great time laughing with him and he took such great care of all of us.
This entire team ensured we had the best day of our life, and we were so fortunate to have such an amazing crew by our side during this special time in our life. Each and every one of them will always hold a special place in our hearts.
Our Anglers Family - We will see you all again soon!

Angler’s was a dream come true venue!
Booking them remotely, their team was outstanding in communication. Natalia was there to answer every question we had along the way and explained every little detail possible for us!
Once we got there, the entire team was incredible. Brad the manager, the day of wedding coordinator, bartenders, even the staff down at the Bar & Grill, they all treated us like family and made sure we had everything we could possibly need on our wedding day!
The beach ceremony and reception were decorated beautifully. Cannot say enough kind words about this venue and this staff, we were blown away!

Words cannot say enough of what Natalia, Brad and staff have done to make our wedding a homerun!! From the moment we talked with them, till the end of our wedding, we received first class service! My guests loved everything! Not one complaint. The food was awesome! Brad did an excellent job shucking all 120lbs of oysters!! Sandi was attentive to all our needs! Can’t remember the bartender but she rocked as well! I wish we of added more hours to the venue cause everyone was having so much fun! Thank you thank you thank you!! We are beyond happy! My wife is already planning a return trip and when we do, we will definitely stop in for dinner and drinks and to say hello! Once again thank you for making our day so special!! Great job!

As a destination wedding, it was hard to get a hold of venues. Brad, Anglers manager, got on the phone to answer questions. After 25 minutes with him, I was sold! Natalia M, planner, and Sandi, the day coordinator are fabulous and attentive from day one. Olga, Katya, and Lucy decorated the day of to perfection. This group knows how to make your day stress free and special. Truly above and beyond. Thank you Anglers!

Angler's was a great choice for us. My now husband and I were planning a wedding kind of last minute (a month out), and Angler's staff were very accommodating. They were very easy to work with, all their wedding packages were great, and it was all easy to navigate. Because of my work, my husband had to do most of the planning, and Angler's was very communicative with him. On the day of the wedding, they helped clear a portion of the beach for the wedding. It is still very much public with many strangers watching, but everyone was very good natured. At the end of the night, it didn't matter at all. The food was delicious, and there was more than enough for everyone. The bar was convenient for the guests. All of the staff were extremely nice. The venue was beautiful, and we all had a great night. Thank you Angler's for making our wedding a lovely experience!

Angler’s made my beach wedding dreams come true!! 🥹 the venue is STUNNING! everything was so beautiful. Natalia & Mikayla were amazing from day one, they made planning a destination wedding so easy. The planning process was so fun, they made all of my visions come to life. Sandi, our coordinator, made sure our day was perfect. She was very tentative & kept everything moving smoothly. It was so nice to work with her.
Ted Corcoran was our officiant, recommended by Angler’s, he was fabulous! He went above & beyond for us, our ceremony was perfect.
Brad was also very kind & helpful, we met him the night before the wedding at our rehearsal. The staff at Angler’s is very kind & so welcoming! I highly recommend Angler’s for your beach wedding 🥰

From the moment we signed our contract to the end of our night, the Angler’s staff was amazing!! 😊 My husband and I always dreamed of having a beach wedding and Angler’s made it happen. We booked the venue and didn’t see it in person until 3 days before our wedding, as we are from the Midwest. The planning process was stress-free!! 🏝 Angler’s takes care of the decorating, setting up/tearing down, making the food & drinks and so much more. We got to show up and enjoy every part of our day without doing anything. The venue is absolutely beautiful!! It is newly remodeled with gorgeous windows, lighting, flooring, paint, etc. The getting ready room is perfect for the ladies!! The food was delicious as well as the drinks!! We are so thankful for Natalia and all who played apart in making our day perfect. 💕

Angler's was literally amazing from start to finish!
Despite a little few hiccups along the way (mostly with me changing wedding dates due to COVID and my husband's work schedule), they worked with me every step of the way to make sure everything was correct and that I was happy.
I bothered Natalia via email several times and she was always SO nice.
The day of the wedding, the staff at Angler's was NOTHING SHORT OF AMAZING. If I had a choice to re-do my wedding, I would 100% choose Angler's over and over again.
ALL of my guests were satisfied with the food, the drinks, the decor, the service, the kindness of the staff, EVERYTHING.
Angel was our bartender and that girl was 🔥 She took care of the entire wedding by herself (bar-wise)!
So much love and happiness surrounded us the day of our wedding.
Some of our guests even went back to Angler's the day after our wedding to try their other food since they LOVED the food at the wedding.
I recommend Angler's a million times over!!

What can I say. I've always read how planning a wedding could be very stressful. My husband and I wanted to have a wedding on the beach, so we decided to call Angler's Beachside Café. The manager introduced us to their wedding planners (Natalia and Aluna). With their help, all the stress and worry about our upcoming wedding was taken off our shoulders and landed safely on theirs. They were absolutely wonderful. They planned and coordinated all aspects of our wedding flawlessly. I can't say enough how wonderful it was to let them plan one of the most important days of our lives! Thanks Natalia and Aluna!!! We love you and appreciate all that you did for us.
Love Katie

We held our rehearsal dinner at Angler's and if I would have known what a unique, perfect spot it was I would have planned the reception there! It was a perfect location on the pier in Okaloosa Island. The room was overlooking the ocean where we saw dolphins and the sun set. They allowed us to plug in an iPod for music (we definitely rocked it!) and provided us with decor for our tables. The buffet style, appetizer dinner was delicious. We even had a margarita fountain. It was perfect for our party of 50-60 people and I am sure it could accommodate more. My mother-in-law coordinated everything with them and she said they were so great and enthusiastic about our special night. It has a lot of character and was the perfect spot to take our out-of-town guests!

I had some difficulties with finalizing everything for my reception, but that was mainly because the place was in the middle of a change in management. Once I got in touch with the new management, they worked to make everything go smoothly. Cute decorations and nice place!
